You are confusing tiger balm with mentol-camphor ointments such as Vick Vaporub (which can also be used for muscle pain.) Tiger Balm contain mentol and camphor, but it also contain other, stronger ingredients that, I believe, will cause irritation if used for congestion or runny nose.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris

I'm currently using some cheap Tiger Balm in an attempt to fend off the combination of rolling + gym + punching + being an old man. Whilst I'm sure the bulk of you are young, virile, fertile 20 somethings, I wondered if anyone had any experience anything more expensive (and therefore obviously 100000 times better), or if I should just keep buying the "3 pots for a pound" from the local thrift store?

Cheers!

Im an old man too ... the only thing that really works for me is arnica based ointment. the other stuff just stinks and I can't tell any benefit at all.
